Just scored a rubicon g6! Was into 1:1 trail riding and crawling... Had a son and had to sell my xj... Now I figured this might fill some of the void and I'm already into Rc racing... So what upgrades should I look at? |

Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! I'm kinda thinking a lower cog battery relocation might be a good first mod |
Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! I'd also recommend the Axial or Vanquish CVDs for the front axle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! Why was this moved to the noob forums? My question is scx10 specific have 25 yrs in Rc including clawlers before there where kit crawlers |
Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! You might also consider the shocks. I have the ICON version that comes with the kit. They look great, but leak and the spacer between the dual rate springs binds on the shock bodies. You can fix the spring binding by putting the short one on the bottom and the log one on top (removes the conflict with the shock body, but the springs are upside down, so you have to be ok with that). For the leaking, I found a thread that suggested using diff fluid. I'm running 3000 wt in mine. The leaking is not as bad and they damp much better. Last step is green slime on the o-rings; I'm trying this next to stop the leaks. But it's a lot of hassle and the performance is still not great. Could instead get a set of Proline scaler powerstrokes ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! I'm gonna try x rings in the shocks this has cured every other shock leak I have ever had.... I'm going to also polish the shock shafts will def help with smoothness... Also was thinking about modding the pistons to let alil more fluid by so that running thicker fluid wouldn't negatively effect the shocks pack or lack there of |
Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! Nice. Do you mean the Team Associated x rings? I haven't tried these, but will do that now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! start with the trans and put steel gears in it, then get some knuckles and chubs. forget the cosmetic crap for now. beef up the rig with strong parts that keep it running, then upgrade as things break, a fancy bumper is useless if the truck dont run. |

yes let me know if they fit will if not ill try a dif size |
Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! Traxxas x-rings work well, too - and can be found at almost any LHS for way cheap... |
Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! Yeah the traxxas ones work well in associated shocks so may work in these to |

If you get the stage one kit, you'll also need either Vanquish wheels or wider hexes (steering arms on the Vanquish knuckles rub on most tires if you use standard Axial hexes and non-Vanquish wheels). These hexes worked well for me: https://www.prolineracing.com/perfor...-clamping-hex/ Description says they're for a Slash, but they work fine on SCX10. I think Traxxas also has a "wide" plastic hex that's cheaper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! Looks like the orings in the axial shocks are much smaller than associated ones |
Re: Just scored a rubicon g6! Really that's awesome and pics of the install? |
